Reno will not rant about this because Anambra is considered as no one state in terms of good Education

But her primary 6 classmate in the same primary school, who is from Kaduna State was given admission into Queens College.

Exactly on point.

Now, it depends on the competition from your home state, Imo. So if the Kaduna girl even scored less, but Kaduna quota is not filled or the competition is on pure merit. Then the Kaduna girl stood a higher chance.

So if there are higher scores from Imo, her chances will be lower despite her high marks.

The cut of marks for pupils seeking to get admission into Federal secondary schools recently released shows a disparity in cut off marks.

Why will someone from Anambra need to score as high as 139, and someone in Yobe need to score 2?

Or why will someone in Lagos need to score 133 and another from Kebbi need to score 9 to gain admission??


This here is totally wrong and old...
Now there's something called selection committee that seats to set up cut off mark for each zones and it has nothing to do with perculiarity of a state buh highest and lowest grades scored in the particular zone, states and schools.....

My eldest sister scored 543 when it was over 600 and Imo state had the highest cut off mark of 527 back then.

She passed the subsequent interview but was not given admission to her first choice of Queens College, Lagos nor her second choice FGC Ijanikin as my parents wanted her to remain in Lagos....dem post am go FGC Sokoto but her classmate from Kaduna who scored less than 450 got admitted into Queens College...my parents said thunder fire Federal Ministry of Education and refused the admission, got my sister enrolled in a day secondary school in Lagos 😂😂😂

I scored 571.

Number 1 candidate on the list then; though in the north.

Was busy searching for my name from below with my dad; didn’t know I was number 1 on the list… #memories☺️

THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY HAVE ACCEPTED THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE DOMED AND WILL REMAIN SO FROM

GENERATION TO GENERATION. SO, THEY MUST BE TREATED AS FAILURES AT ENTRY LEVEL.

But some people who claim they are not Nigerians will rather prefer all the slots be allocated to them to the detriment of educationally disadvantaged Nigerian states. Nigeria really dodged a big missile.

Oga, your own brand of mumu is disgusting.

Where else in the world do you see that a child who scores 138 from Anambra will be denied admission in favour of a child who scores 4 from Zamfara?

Does it make sense to you ... if not that Nigeria as a country is sick?

Kontinu wasting your time. Make the Cut-Off Mark 0, most northern parents will never send their children to those so-called unity schools.

Unity beggers don't go to unity schools but unity haters troop to unity schools

If uniform cutoff marks are used,
no Muslim northern child will enter
unity schools...

On the other hand, SE & SW students
will use "Expo" to score 200 marks..

Na so E be ..

Most of the Northern students that
go to Northern universities graduate
without being able to speak English, but
they will be given the juiciest Fed Government

You tried so hard to display intelligence but end up looking bad in the eyes of the intelligent.

The aim of Unity school is not to admit the best students from the best states. It is for students of all states to study together, interact, understand and tolerate each other. At the end, foster National Unity.

Zamfara should keep retaining their admissions quota in the unity school system. No unity school can promote a student that did not pass.

Or is there a quota for promotion from one class to another in the unity school system? Only admissions have quota, not promotion/progression within the system.

The low score is a function of educational backwardness that the state governments do not care to address enough.

What about their state public schools? Have you considered how terribly low the entry requirements and even promotion would be?

Even with all of these, those educationally poor states do not fulfill all their guaranteed slots in the unity school system, which then fall back to other students from other states.
The people that have a cut of mark set at two know what to expect from the students, because you have not seen northern students being taught English language in hausa, they will pass, those that are willing to go even further will go further.
Re: Why Is There No Uniform Cut Of Marks For Unity Schools In Nigeria? by wisdomguy4u(m): 6:46pm On Apr 27
How can a child who scores 139 be in the same classroom, take the same lecture, and write the same exam as a child who scores 2? The teachers would have to go to the level of the child who got admission with 2 while teaching, thereby dulling the sharp brain of the child who scored 139. Admission should be by merit. Let us stop scarifying good brains from quota

You will need to see a shrink after engaging these people. Their logic is right upside down .. Even the affected people are really not happy nor comfortable about these things,but u see these their cousins? Them go defend infinitely undefendables

That's how they defended bughari all thru the 8yrs..even when northerners were not even comfortable with the man's litany of goofs,but these people defended every single one of it

But today before u say Bulaba..they will tell u bughari caused everything from war in Ukraine to earthquake in Taiwan

Yorubas defended Buhari's govt so strong because Osibanjo was the VP.

That tribe are so tribalistic and it started since the time of Obafemi Awolowo.

You missed the point...


The fact that they are called unity
schools doesn't mean that you should
bring illiterates to come and enter
secondary school. That is the aim of
the common entrance exams, to get a
baseline.

We can as well be allowing cutoff marks
of 30/400 for JAMB for Northern students
in order to meet their admission quotas.

Those with the 30/ 400 can be admitted
to read medicine and give them the
degrees, whether they pass or not, so
that we can post them to your village to
treat your people.

It is not proper to be ranked educationally disadvantage state since 1976. That is 48 years of pampering children to accept that they don't need to aim high. At times I wonder if those supporting this anomaly will accept students who study medicine be admitted with score of 2 over 400 in jamb

When you finally get your biafra, you can ignore any part that is disadvantaged in any form. But in Nigeria, the national resources can't be concentrated in the training of a singl section who claim they are not even Nigerians. Unity Schools are for the benefit of all Nigerians. If you don't like it, nobody is forcing you.

The fact that you don't understand why is not strange.

What is unity school in the first place? It's a school that represents unity i.e one school where you meet people from all parts of Nigeria.

So if every state must be in every unity school, and all states are given the same number of slots, say 20. If 20million students apply from Anambra but only 15 students applied from Yobe, You get the difference in cutoff points. That's means for any student from Anambra has a 1 in million or 0.0001% chance to get admission and a person from Yobe has a 130% chance to get the same admission. The way to apply that percentage is the cut off marks. It's the same reason that the Jamb cutoff for MBBS is higher than Zoology or why your 350 in Jamb from Anambra doesn't automatically qualify you for admission in all Federal universities.

While Anambra students queue up in millions to get a chance to go to a unity school, the slots for people of Yobe is not even filled.

This unfilled slots defeats the aim of unity school. So they want Yobe students to be there, hence the almost zero cut off mark.

You can't say let us then give Anambra all the slots because they have more brains, that means some unity schools will have only Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia state students only. That school now fails as a unity school, it is now a southeast Unity school.

How many Hausa/Fulani do you think will allow his daughter go to a unity school 3 states away? In the north, parents are begged even at this time and age to send children to school.

What do you expect? These things are made with reasons.

Succinctly explained.

Thanks.

There's also Gifted that year, I don't know if it still exists? Today I'm a graduate of Human Anatomy after trying so many times to get into med sch. I'll try again after my masters tho.

The person who scored 2 or 3 from the north is far better than the person that scored 1000 from Anambra or Imo because those scores from Anambra are products of miracle centres while the northern scores are genuine scores.
